Half Way to Williamsport

Saturday, August 3, 1957

The 1957 WCALL All-Stars continue to go where no West Covina sports team has gone before. Last weekend, they won their first-ever Division title, and today, they are the champions of California Section V, and on their way to the State Tournament!


Celebrating their victory are (l.–r.): Don Bunch, Mike Okura, Steve Fox, Bruce Young, Jim Kendall and Rudy Bullen.

 

Having won 6 straight games to this point, West Covina is now only 5 more wins away from going to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

West Covina American.....030 000 3–6 6 1
Arcadia American.........000 102 1–4 2 1

 

 

The performance of both teams was about as excellent as Little League play gets. This was one exciting baseball game! Read all about it...
